Poor Lady taken to Fazakerly not Southport Hospital.

What the hell does Southport or Fazakerly have to do with
accident. Hell based on your thinking, there's a perfectly
good surgery accross the road
Fazakerly are probably better equipped for her injuries.

Pointing out that Southport A&E has no been downgraded, anything serious now goes to Preston, Aintree or Liverpool.

Yes you're correct Southport is less than it used to be.
(down graded?)
Reality says Southport hospital will go in next 10 years.
